to the wrath
of God.

Jesus is alone on the earth, without any one not only to feel and share His
suffering, but even to know of it; He and Heaven were alone in that
knowledge.

Jesus is in a garden, not of delight as the first Adam, where he lost
himself and the whole human race, but in one of agony, where He saved
himself and the whole human race.

He suffers this affliction and this desertion in the horror of night.

the danger to which they expose, not Him, but themselves; He cautions them
for their own safety and their own good, with a sincere tenderness for them
during their ingratitude, and warns them that the spirit is willing and the
flesh weak.

Jesus, finding them still asleep, without being restrained by any
consideration for themselves or for Him, has the kindness not to waken them
